Pro Bono Opportunities for Alumni through the Feerick Center for Social Justice
The Feerick Center for Social Justice’s COVID-19 Response Project (CRP), in collaboration with Legal Assistance of Western New York (Law NY), welcomes alumni to join our remote pro bono legal assistance effort to help low-income seniors in Western New York with end-of-life planning. Attorneys with elder law and trusts and estates experience are especially encouraged to become involved. Our partners at LawNY will provide training, resources, and supervision; the Feerick Center will be serving in a coordination capacity. For more information, please contact us at FCVRPcoordinator@fordham.edu.
The Feerick Center for Social Justice’s Veterans’ Rights Project (FCVRP), in collaboration with Legal Information for Families Today (LIFT), is seeking pro bono attorneys to lead Know-Your-Rights presentations on family law issues and, more specifically, on child support, to veterans at local colleges and Vet Centers. Our partners at LIFT will provide training; volunteer attorneys may be eligible for CLE credit for attending training sessions. We especially encourage family law practitioners with experience in child support issues interested in this area to become involved. For more information, please contact FCVRPcoordinator@fordham.edu.
